Danny "Bust Bust" Geoffrion |
Blake’s father, Dan Geoffrion, is a former 8th overall draft pick from the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft. After some stellar seasons for the Cornwall Royals of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Dan was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens. Opting to jump to the World Hockey Association before the NHL, Dan joined the Quebec Nordiques before they merged into the NHL. Dan’s junior success did not carry onto the NHL, as he went from 143 points in 71 games in his last Cornwall season to 111 career NHL games with 52 points. Dan moved to Nashville after retirement for work, and helped grow minor hockey in Tennessee, where his son Blake was born.

Morenz’s funeral was held the Montreal Forum where 50,000 people passed through to pay their respects, and the Canadiens also honoured Morenz by retiring his #7 - the first time the team honoured a player in that fashion. Morenz's number was also lowered halfway when Bernie Geoffrion's number was raised, and the two numbers were raised together to honour the special link between the Morenz and Geoffrion families.

so if trends continue.... Blake is the biggest Bust?
ReplyDeleteI remember watching that jersey retirement for Bernie Geoffrion... very emotional, not a dry eye in the arena when they lowered Morenz's down to rise with Boom Boom's... two great Canadiens
ReplyDeleteI wish my dad was better at hockey..lol
ReplyDeleteWhen are you boys going to do a post on the Sutters?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that is how Howie Morenz died.That is some sad shit.
ReplyDeleteQuite the name to live up to!
ReplyDeleteBust Bust Geoffion!NICE!
ReplyDeleteBoom.... Bust.... my prediction is Blake becomes the Echo
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Montreal fans booed Bernie Geoffrion when he beat Maurice Richard in the scoring race. Richard was an idiot who attacked a ref! MONTREAL FANS ARE STUPID!
ReplyDeleteas a Montreal fan, I have to agree with you. What was he supposed to do? not score?
ReplyDeleteMontreal fans always complain about their stars, don't truly appreciate what they have
ReplyDeletethey booed Lafleur, jeered Roy, booed Price... ungrateful
ReplyDeleteI think Blake is a career 3rd liner
